Word of the Week

I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

temerity

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun

the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.

From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”

“Eyes exuding sincerity,

understanding, temerity,

is why I love you.”

No Complaints

Cease your complaining and fretting; none of these things you blame are the cause of your poverty; the cause is within yourself, and where cause is, there is the remedy. The very fact that you are a complainer shows that you deserve your lot, shows that you lack the faith which is the ground of all effort and progress. There is no room for the complainer in a universe of law, and worry is soul-suicide. By your very attitude of mind you are strengthening the chains which bind you and are drawing about you the darkness by which you are enveloped. Alter your outlook look on life, and your outward life will alter.
James Allen

Forms of complaining are many and diverse, quite often having become habit - our default when a particular subject or circumstance arises. Take time to be aware of any that might be responsible for keeping you bound to your current experience. What steps might you put in place to correct them?


My mission - purpose - is to assist others to achieve a higher quality of life and understanding - realizing their passions and purpose in life through gaining clarity of thought and definiteness of purpose.

  1. This is debatable, I'm not hear to argue the point, but to say. The journeys we have in this life, are all different. everyone is not suppose to have the same
    social standing, financial situation, or the same way we handle thing's,
    we are all here for purpose only God knows for sure, its why some eccell and others don't, ..It's not from lack of trying for everyone for some yes, sheer laziness I'm sure. but thats not everyones story.
    just as some are privileged and some are profiled simply because of their race. that's not anything that is in their control ..
    Somethings come easier to some and not others.
    whatever is meant to be will be.
    people want better, often times the reward is a life you helped change. like these blogs. you are changing lives. me for one.
    We as people have every right to be frustrated, its human nature....Every emotion is not gonna be love and peace. we have to learn to control our emotions and channel it in a positive direction
